i found this,interesting. i like how kathryn used a metallic object, and not just any metal. copper was an excellent choice for this setting, for it shows the character isn't some valuable rich metal - copper is a metal of common worth, representing the life and thoughts of any and every human being. the heavy barnacles of regret really hit me - this made me realize that regret isn't a subtle emotion. it's something bigger, and stays with you until you find a way to destoy it.

i say, this poem was very original, a bit short, and a giant leap toward a great career!

I think the use of imagery here is very original, but also very consistent through out the poem. The poem is also very melodic, the cacophony of the lines; "Heavy barnacles of regret/cluster cancerously" is effective in showing the author's disgust, and regret. It flows very well, maintaining a nice, even rhythm, that speeds up in places, almost as if to show emotion (most likely anger). On a personal note, the poem resonated well with me, as I felt I could relate to it (thus raising the impact). I enjoyed this poem , and it is one that I will continue to come back to time and time again for inspiration with my own work, as I found the style of writing very beautiful.
